I think Obama is going to win, but Romney's got odds of 4.5 at most online bookmakers.

$100 bet = $450 return

Anyone making that bet?
 


I saw there are a lot of bookmakers with very different quotes.
Probably you could easily set up bets (on Obama and Romney through various bookmakers) so that no matter what happens you win.
But I don't know if this is legal?

Its totally legal...But I think you'll find that very hard/impossible to do once you think that math through in detail.
 
Bought a couple hundred shares on Intrade..

Obama wins = profit
Romney wins = profit (taxes)

win win baby

Unfortunately it doesn't really exist, even when you're betting large sums and get better odds than the general public does. The only real way to do it is with the top up bonuses and the amount of time involved for a $50-$100 return isn't worth it (most of the bonuses require you rebet 4x at least).

The best bet at the moment is through pinnacle and that has Obama at 1.29 and Romney at $4.5 (through William Hill)

If I could get Obama at 1.4 I'd put a couple of grand on it - I might put 500 on Romney. I can't see him winning it but it's great value at 4.5.
 
here is the predication

this election will become such a cluster fuck with all different kinds of problems attached to this that we will not know who won until maybe next month.

between the absent ballots, military ballots, storm sandy.. etc

you know there will be recounts and more recounts

this election will probably become the one that will reveal how really fucked up the U.S. truly is.

Is there any place to make a bet like this online in the US besides Intrade?

Why wouldn't it exist? Aren't there always differences in odds between betting places?
